Green-Scaled Ice-Armored Right Arm Bone

It was a five-story building, its expensive construction materials everywhere highlighting the hotel's extraordinary nature. A crystal-carved statue of an angel stood atop the towering roof, and the plaque at the entrance reading "Martial Soul City Central Hotel" further declared its status within the hospitality industry.

There was no cliché plot twist involving a lack of rooms; the vacancies here were still quite plentiful.

This was thanks to them arriving early. If it were the night before the registration deadline, even the exorbitant room rates wouldn't stop the place from being packed to capacity.

Mu Qian waved his hand and booked a Supreme Suite directly.

Similar to the presidential suites of his past life, the Supreme Suite contained more than just a bedroom; it was more like a fully functional, luxurious villa.

On the Douluo Continent, no matter how luxurious a place like a hotel was, it couldn't be too expensive, as it wasn't a resource beneficial to cultivation.

"Zhuqing, after such a long journey, let's head up and rest for a while. I'll take you out to explore when evening comes." Mu Qian hesitated, but he didn't have the heart to let this girl drag her exhaustion around with him.

Of course, the main reason was that he had other matters to discuss with Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing curiously examined the hotel's layout and said, "I'll listen to you."

Even as the fourth young lady of the Zhu Family, having lacked resources since childhood, she had never been to such a high-end hotel.

In her eyes, even just as a hotel, its grandeur didn't lose out to many iconic buildings in Star Luo City.

Of course, it certainly couldn't compare to the imperial palace.

Mu Qian nodded and, led by a waiter, headed to the top floor.

The waiter was a man in his twenties. Although he didn't speak the entire time, he cast strange glances at Mu Qian.

He seemed envious that he could have such a stunning girl as a companion, and that he could afford to stay in the top-tier Supreme Suite.

Mu Qian didn't notice this; at this moment, he felt a trace of unease in his heart.

For some reason, from the moment he stepped onto the top floor, he felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him from the void.

Mu Qian quietly released his spiritual power, scanning every room on the top floor, yet he found nothing unusual.

"Perhaps I'm just overthinking it." Mu Qian shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it.

Little did he know, within this Martial Soul City, two top-tier existences had already taken note of his movements.

In the center of Martial Soul City, inside the Pope Palace, which marked the political heart of Martial Soul Hall.

On the throne, a noble and elegant figure trembled slightly, her gaze looking into the distance as if crossing through time and space, revealing an intriguing expression.

"Is it him..." the noble figure whispered, her red lips parting slightly.

No one could fathom her thoughts, and of course, no one had the courage to speculate.

At the same time, within another grand and massive palace, an old man in ornate robes suddenly opened his eyes.

Those eyes were filled with the weight of ages, yet they also held a hint of surprise and joy.

"He actually came to Martial Soul City... It seems everything is destined..."

"The person of destiny has appeared. I wonder how Xiao Xue is doing now..."

Inside the hotel room.

Mu Qian's vast spiritual power surged forth, completely shielding the entire room.

"Zhuqing, we have to go register tomorrow. I'm not sure if we'll have time after that, so take this. Since we have nothing to do today, absorb it here in the hotel."

With that, under Zhu Zhuqing's puzzled gaze, the Starry Sky Ring on Mu Qian's hand flickered.

Accompanied by a dense surge of soul power, an icy-blue, strange object floated in the air before them.

"This is... a spirit bone?!"

Zhu Zhuqing no longer knew how to describe her feelings.

That was a spirit bone!

If word of this got out, who knew how many soul masters would risk their lives to fight for it.

Yet Mu Qian had taken it out so nonchalantly, even intending to give it to her.

His tone was as if he were describing a trivial matter, as if he weren't giving away a spirit bone, but just an ordinary steamed bun.

"No... I can't. This is too precious. I can't take it; you should keep it for yourself."

Although Zhu Zhuqing was shocked by Mu Qian's generosity, she firmly refused.

She wanted the spirit bone too, but she wanted Mu Qian to become stronger even more.

Compared to improving her own strength, Zhu Zhuqing cared more about their bond.

Over the past year, she had long since grown accustomed to Mu Qian's presence.

The more outstanding Mu Qian was, and the more he revealed his brilliance, the more inferior she felt inside.

How could she not want to become stronger, to make herself worthy of everything Mu Qian offered?

However, Zhu Zhuqing was not a person who took without limit. Although she had grown used to Mu Qian's care, she still knew the weight of things.

She already owed Mu Qian enough.

After a year of being together, Mu Qian had long since understood Zhu Zhuqing's character.

He knew this strong-willed girl didn't want to make excessive demands of him.

And wasn't that exactly what he loved about her?

"Zhuqing, don't be in such a rush to refuse," Mu Qian urged.

"Given our relationship, it's not a matter of trust. To tell you the truth, my first spirit ring came from a sacrificial Green-Scaled Ice-Armored Dragon, and this Green-Scaled Ice-Armored Right Arm Bone was obtained at that time."

Zhu Zhuqing did not interrupt his story, listening to Mu Qian's account in a daze.

"I have studied this Green-Scaled Ice-Armored Right Arm Bone. After fusion, it provides the spirit master with the Green-Scaled Ice-Armored Dragon's innate skill: Ice Seal."

"Moreover, it doesn't seal the enemy, but oneself..."

The Green-Scaled Ice-Armored Dragon is extremely rare, and the probability of it producing a spirit bone is minuscule; Mu Qian was only able to obtain this spirit bone thanks to the sacrifice.

Furthermore, the spirit bones of the Green-Scaled Ice-Armored Dragon have a special characteristic: the spirit skill is fixed.

Regardless of the position of the spirit bone, it will only ever come with one spirit skill: Ice Seal.

"Ice Seal is not a control or attack-type spirit skill, but a defensive one."

"After activating the spirit skill, the caster is covered in a layer of brilliant ice crystals, as if wearing a magnificent crystal coat, and at the same time, it can grant immunity to all attacks except for those of the fire attribute!"

"Remember, it is absolute!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing became even more determined to refuse.

She could not accept a spirit bone that provided such a terrifying skill with a clear conscience, no matter what.

"Although this spirit skill can only be activated once a day, its absolute nature can even withstand attacks from a Title Douluo!"

"You could say that if it weren't for the lack of fire immunity, it could be called an alternative version of the Invincible Golden Body!"

Mu Qian spoke at length; in fact, if it weren't for the low age of the bone, he would have been tempted to absorb it himself.

His Soul Tool was filled with countless ice-attribute spirit bones, but even with its lower age, this Green-Scaled Ice-Armored Right Arm Bone was considered top-tier among them.

"With a spirit bone of such high quality, you should absorb it yourself. I... I have enough with your protection," Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

Even though Mu Qian had praised this spirit bone to the heavens, her heart did not waver in the slightest.
